We can get these brands in the US but nowhere has the variety and selection that you can find in Paris not to mention the lower price point there. It was fun seeing you walk around Paris.

You must be talking to people who are just start their wardrobe because i have atleast 50 different belts that ive collected for all my outfits for variety

Tourists, we love you but stay in city pharma. That’s not the one we Parisians go to, but do not go looking for other Parma it’s with good deals. We beg you! If you like us, don’t 😂

You should also check out Pharmacie Monge Notre Dame. I found the prices to be better, and I liked the range of brands too.

Chanel ballet flat are not so comfortable in my opinion, beautiful but not comfortable.

Hi Lauren! Another nice video, i enjoyed it. But The Gabins are very DVF (Diane von Furstenberg) for me. They just added buttons. 😦

Reve de miel en pot est le meilleure baume à lèvres de la vie. I haven’t tried the lip oil yet, but I swear when you try the reve de miel in a pot, you’ll never go back to anything else. Nothing!

You’ll love the Huile Prodigieuse Or - it’s been my summer go-to for more than 10 years.

Id be worried about being chased by a 🐝, with the honey lip,gloss😆

It's so nice to be out on the streets in Paris with you! Enjoyed your efforts. I'm loyal to Weleda.

My favourite French skincare products are by Caudalie - especially their body lotion, shower gel and sorbet facial moisturizer. I discovered their line while vacationing in France. They were SUPER low priced in the French drug store in Provence. But back home here in Canada Csudalie is incredibly expensive.

Totally understand why after so much effort you are reluctant to leave and go back to your friends and family, but is Paris really worth the suffering? Unless you are married into a family of locals you will never be truly recognized as part of their community. Is this something you want to spend your life on?

i had heard/ read about Citypharma and came across it by chance on my trip last month. it was CROWDED but the checkout line was pretty fast. I didn't realize that it was popular bc of lower prices - i through it was just the city-wide sales happening at the time. I usually like the pharmacie in Forum Les Halles bc it's huge, but now that you did the price comps....I may need to brave Citypharma again next time I'm lucky enough to visit Paris! (FYI I bought Caudalie dark spot cream, Klorane shampoo and Botot toothpaste)

There’s also Pharmacie Monge near Arènes de Lutèce, which does very good offers and more high end brands too, but is also always packed. Pharmacie des Archives in the Marais does good offers and is never too busy (it still does Embryolisse, which CityPharma no longer stock); ditto the one in the lower level of the Les Halles shopping centre. But I often stay on rue St D and love the (full price) pharmacies on it for the sensible advice they give.

Beautiful presentation - thank you so much! I also love the music - very uplifting! Do you have the title for the music as I can't see it in your description anywhere. Thank you again for sharing your adventure!

😂😂😂 it’s not centimes! It’s cents like in Aus! Love your content. X

Lauren thanks for the video, may I please ask for the address for the large city pharmacy you went to .

I loved it 😍 Keep up you lovely and spontaneous personality ❤️

My favorite is Clarins!!❤

I have been to Paris once and that was 14 years ago, all I remeber was everything was so expensive. I paid 8AUD for tea and that was tea bag, I was shocked, this was when we had our coffee at 3-4AUD. Please do a video about cost of living.

Loved this video thank you Lauren. I would love to see more vlogs of your day to day life in Paris. Where do you buy your groceries for example..in a supermarket or a fresh food market.. your hairdresser..where have you had the best coffee..the best patisserie..do you ever go to the marche aux puces..anything like that would be great

Thoroughly enjoyed this type of video. You can do more of these.

Lauren you are a breath of fresh air today and just what the doctor ordered - thanks so much. 😊

Hi Emma, thanks for the video, I didn’t know City Pharma, I’ll try it out next time I’m in Paris! btw it’s cents not centimes 😉

Thank You for taking us with You on Your amazing excursion to Avene. I think, my wife likes there products like thermal skin water (or similar). And so great to see a bit of the world with Your eyes. Have a wonderful evening 🌷❤️🤗

Hi Lauren, thanks for your lovely videos, I do enjoy them very much. I always visit City Pharma every single time I’m in Paris, it’s a must for me. Bon continuation ! ❤️

Aww sending love this is a difficult experience it takes a long time to adjust❤

Loved this, you did make me laugh. I always thought Monoprix was a good deal obviously not! Would enjoy seeing you out and about more and to know what you do in France, also to see your whole wardrobe and how you store everything x

Lauren I really really missed your videos so so so much and I am so so so happy that you have posted a new video and I wish you have a lovely weekend🥹🥹♥️

That was fun. It's great to see snippets of your life in Paris. Thanks for sharing!

Lovely vlog🌷🌷🌷

I have always wanted to visit City Pharma after watching some videos on RUclips. The prices seem to be excellent as well as the variety of products. I think I will go by train with an empty suitcase 😅😅😅 I really enjoy exploring Paris with you Lauren. Such fun to hear about your experiences and views.

Hi Lauren, I have very sensitive skin so my only choice are products from Avene, Nuxe and La Roche Posay... And my dermatologist agrees with me!!! 😊

Hi Emma, i have a question not related to today's video, i am very keen on interior esthetics and i heard that the French love to have dried flowers in their homes so i would love to hear what typical french homes/apartaments are like. Lovely video as always, love a lot of french skincare especially caudalie, L'occitane, Mixa. There is some nice vive about their farmacies too. Regards from a Polish lady living in Dublin.:)

Well you struck gold and savings in pharmacy. Looks like you might be loyal customer for city pharma for cheap products and maybe prescriptions. Sometimes the best discoveries can be found by accident or unknown. Like groceries Lidl in my neck of the woods is my go to that I discovered two or three years ago been loyal since. Let’s go one step forward Alaska Airlines I liked when leaving Seattle to NYC which was American Airlines codeshare thing. Been loving the airline since in terms of service, so yea sometimes discoveries happen out of nowhere. It’s all about getting out there and see what’s there. You did well with the vlog keep going like how to transit (maybe after the Olympics), order baguettes, what’s cuisine your tried that was trippy etc. I think spontaneous videos or short (now being pushed) is something unique and more of you

French farmacy skincare! Yesss, I've been on the lookout for this one ❤

I own versions of all that you have except the stiletto scrappy sandals; I no longer need to wear such shoes. I am 73 and ballet flats have been a staple in my wardrobe for decades (I worked in high fashion and dress in a very classic style). I love metallic driving moccasins; they are so comfortable and go with everything. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Lauren, you make me wish to meet you and make you laugh. That's ll probably never happen cause I'm just a random Frenchman from the internet, so I'll just try to help with some advice to hopefully make you feel a little bit better. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from watching this video, it sounds like your main source of sadness comes from your job. But I won't tell you to just quit your job. I will tell you to care less about your job. That's the French way. You have all the reasons to be proud about yourself for taking such a big step as moving here alone. But you really have no reason to be proud to make the top dogs of your company richer. This is a disease in the brain of all anglo-saxons culture. Even if you make 4 to 6k/month, you can be certain that you are underpaid for the amount of stree you have to deal with. Not saying you have to not do your job well, just saying to not buy into the "We are one big family" every company tries to sell you one way or another so that you do long unpaid hours. If you need to work more than what you're paid for, once you're sure you're not incompetent, the answer is usually that the company is purposedly understaffed. So don't be afraid of pressure from your manager, if you stricly keep between the limits of your contract and do nothing more, they can't fire you. To sum up, just try to deprogram yourself from this "work ethic" mentality. You know the saying the French "Work to Live", most developped countries do the opposite. Doesn't seem so great to have more money and no time to spend it. Then there's the bullying thing, which is difficult. Especially if you're bullied by someone who is a native speaking French and you're not. You don't have the instant "répartie" or the humourous response to make this person shut up and be laughed at by the rest of the staff. And it's even harder if this person's (I'm trying hard to not use "she" in fear of being sexist but honestly I'm 70% sure it's a she who was bullying you. That's my experience in an office anyways, especially the false accusation thing, doesn't sound like the kind of bullying men do. But I digress). My point is, I have no good advice against it, besides : stand up to them, be strong, make some snarly remark exactly at the right timing that will make everyone laugh at your bully's expense, but of course that's not a talent everyone has and you can't just change your personnality like that if if it's not your type. And there's the issue of keeping your flat, and I know in this arrondissmeent, renting a bathtub costs $8M/week, so you can't afford to lose your job or be a cashier if you want to stay there. So I wish you'll get better, and if you manage to spend less time at work, just immerse yourself in culture, and by that I mean anything, not just museum, can be movies, TV shows, books, cooking, just going to restaurants, or of course making RUclips videos... it doesn't even have to be french, it just has to be something you enjoy. In the long run, but not too long, since you've already proven your strong will by coming here alone, I will suggest to try to find a way to be self employed. You may not work less, or earn as much, but you will do it for you and decide how you anage your time. It's one of the few big steps I took in my life and I don't regret it, even if some month you're rich, some others you're poor. At least you don't have to deal with 62 managers on top of you. Or just marry a 86 years old billionaire and be done with 90% of your problems. That's what I keep telling my sister but she doesn't make any effort. :D Anyways, good luck, God speed and all that.

I love Sezane, own some of their clothes and have a long wish list from them. However, I would not keep any of these items as I think they are not a good value for the money. I wouldn’t buy their shoes mostly because despite the basic or unpractical design (apart from Paula babies), they are quite uncomfortable. I would rather opt for a shoe from an actual shoe company. As for raffia bags, again I think they are not that practical and mostly limited to a casual summer look. For that price point there are much better and versatile alternatives. Or if you are really going for that style, much cheaper options. With this being said, if I really had to choose between these, I would go for the raffia tote. I love the embroidery on the bucket but I really hate the bucket design and practicality in general.

Geox are known to be very comfortable shoes!

I have just discovered you - you appeared on my "new to you"link! I have just done my shoe stock take, thanks to you. I too need to repair my long boots, same heel has worn down, obviously the way we walk! Having watched your video, I now realise that I am only happy in my flat shoes or block heels. I am donating five pairs to the charity shop. Three pairs with wedge heels never worn, too high. Two pairs of stiletto's - again not worn, what was I thinking?! I have subscribed - now binge watching your other videos. Keep up the great work.

Your wardrobe is elegant & chic ❤ I've brought some wide legged linen & silk trousers; you can dress up or casual. I've added some extra linen shirts & a couple of linen maxi dressers. We are in the dead of Winter here 😢 But I've something to look forward to 😊

Such very beautiful, friendly and natural and at the same time very nice/elegant summer outfits and wardrobe essentials. I wish You a very pleasant new week and a happy summer 😍🌷🌺

I always wear a belt with any bottoms that have belt loops - it looks more finished and polished. I also love them for giving shape to dresses, many summer dresses don’t have fitted waists, especially linen ones (they are cooler if loose, but don’t look as nice on rectangular-shaped, petite me). Good leather designer belts are an item I tend to splurge on, they last forever so they only have to be purchased once (unless there is weight gain). Genuine leather footwear is breathable, softens, stretches and conforms to the foot shape, and it looks ten times better and lasts ten times longer, it’s all I buy. I tried two different brand pairs of plastic (“faux leather/vegan leather”) ones in the past and they both cut up my feet, never again. I agree with all your summer essentials.

The summers are so hot where I live, 35-40C, that I only wear linen clothing. I prefer skirt outfits and, especially, dresses, but also wear shorts and occasionally, trousers - all in 100% linen. This summer I finally have a full, all-linen capsule wardrobe, which is great, our summers last at least five months, so I need a lot of selection in linen. I have unlined or cotton-lined linen blazers in my basic wardrobe colors to add for cool mornings, these are hard to find and I’m always looking for more colors. I also love 100% linen jersey and Poetry/Wrap London and Banana Republic have some nice items in this fabric. It’s as cool as woven linen, but unlike it, it doesn’t need ironing (delicate cycle, hang or dry flat to air-dry). H&M also has some for those with smaller budgets, but they tend to be much too big in the shoulders and neckline and are too low-cut for me. I’m 164 cm, a fairly slender petite, but I can’t size down more because of my full/average bust, and really, with H&M’s cuts it doesn’t even help that much. They seem to design and cut for 6-foot tall, large-frame women. Nice video, thanks, Lauren🙂

Yes we are finally having summer here in Calgary, Canada. June was cool and rainy then July came in with a vengeance of warm (hot) weather, up to 34c which is warm for us Canadians. Not complaining though, winter always comes back!!! Thank you for another wonderful video!🌷❤️🇨🇦

Such a beautiful selection! Love your taste. You have such a lovely figure , look so beautiful in all of them. I love white all year round, but especially in summer. I have white tops, skirts, pants, shorts, but not a dress! I tried to find a perfect one the last two summers, but didn't succeed as I didn't like the oversize style in each store. This year I might be lucky enough to find one with more tailoring but still flowy and comfortable. Excellent video, Lauren!

You want summer come on over NYC we are boiling in here Tuesday up coming we got 99! 😮. The summer wear can be tested under brutal nyc concrete streets and underground subway. Bonus get the best deo and a water thermos to hold cold. Maybe a cool towel 😅. Happy Sunday Lauren
